The Old Reliable.

The Pioneer Stables of this city are always to the front. Messrs Hare & Page spare no expense at their stables on AL len street, above the Occidental hotel Their carriages are the best and their horses compare favorably with any on the coast. Horses boarded by the day, week or month. Their saddle horses are the best in the city. Mining men wish ing to visit Sonora can be supplied with good outfits, at the most reasonable rate: and in fact cheaper than any place elst in the city or county.

The accident which befell General Miles in Los Angeles last Tuesday will prevent his attendance at the sword pre-. sentation announced for Monday next, in Tucson, and the event will be post poned. A carriage containing the Gen eral and party while crossing the railroad just outside town, was overturned, and General Miles had the ankle bone of his right leg broken, besides sustaining severe bruises. He was removed to the Arcadia hotel. The team ran away after the accident and one of the horses was badly injured. General Miles injuries will keep him in bed for some time.

THE LAW ON THE CASE.

Tilden adopts his old tactics in com menting upon the words of wisdom pro- pounded in the last issue of the EPlTAPH. It has taken him week, and yet, except for certain short, garbled extracts, he has failed to make any reply. He should come down to the main points at issue and if possible exhibit some sort of de- fense for his 1,otegss. The question now before the people is, whether or not the Board of Supervisors have complied with the law in the matter of allowing bills against the county which have already been paid, whether county officer has a right to make demand against the county for money due for other than his official services, and, furthermore, wheth- CT the Board have right to evade the law by neglecting to record their votes on questions that come before them. The EPITAPH charges them with gross violation of the law in each one of these respects. It has not stopped to misrep- resentation nor villiication, nor does it intend to ever adopt such policy. It will not try to get even with man by "making faces at his sister," nor will it carry personal grievances into its columns at all; but as the Great Grover remarked, "a public office is public trust," and we are firm believer in the right, and shall insist upon that right, to comment upon the official acts of any man who has ac- cepted such trust, either by appoint ment or election. If he fulfills the Jeffer- sonian requirements of capability and honesty, he will not object to such cen sorship; but if he is corrupt and incap- able, he will make faces and kick. And no surer evidence of the Ethiopian in the fuel pile can be found than when an officer makes personal matter out of legitimate comment.
 For the information of the parties most interested-that is, the taxpayers-we here reproduce the sections of law which we claim the Board of Supervisors have violated:
 Section 30. Chap. g. No demand on the County Treasury wherein any county officer shall be personally interested, or arising out of any contract wherein any county officer shall at any time while in office have been a party or otherwise personally interested. shall be approv- ed, allowed or paid, but every such contract. claim or demand is hereby declared null and void, except for official compensation of the persons in whose name it is presented.
 Sec. 3I. Every ofncei, including eacb Super visor, who shall draw an unauthorized warrant claim or demand upon any County Treasury ir this Territory, contrary to or withoutShe author ity of law, shall be liable to the county upon hi official bond personally, and for the amount thu' directly paid out or disbursed on sucn warrant claim or demand, and the same may be recov cred by an action against the person or persons so liable therefor, jointly or severally. It shall be the duty of the District Attorney ofthe county to see that suit is brought in the proper case: for the enforcement of the provisions of this sec ton. THE VOTE OF EACH SUPERVISOR UPON EVERY QUESTION. ORDER, OR NATTER, AcTEr ON BY THEM SHALL BE RECORDED IN THE MINUTES OF THE BOARD.

The report put in circulation by our injudicious contemporary, that the citi. zens of Tombstone intend to take the law regarding land titles into their own hands has not shadow of foundation in fact, and is islander upon our people, who are law-abiding in the extreme Where one man could be found to join a mob of that description there would be twenty to put it down.
